SSKM's New Paid Facility Ananya Opens
A new paid healthcare facility called Ananya has opened at SSKM Hospital in Kolkata.
It offers rooms and treatments at lower costs than private hospitals.
The facility has tied up with four public insurance companies and plans to add private insurers soon.
Patients need a recommendation from senior doctors to get admitted.
Currently, only one floor with 17 rooms is operational, but it will expand to include more rooms and special care units.
The goal is to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, especially since many people in Bengal spend a lot on medical expenses out of their own pockets.
Ananya, a new paid facility at SSKM Hospital, has started admitting patients with ties to four public insurance companies.
Charges at Ananya are lower than private hospitals, with options for single cabins, suites, and special care units.
Admission requires an 'admission advice' from senior doctors at SSKM’s OPD or emergency unit.
Currently, one floor with 17 single-occupancy rooms is operational, with plans to expand to 92 rooms and 21 special care beds.
The facility aims to provide affordable healthcare, addressing the high out-of-pocket medical expenses in Bengal.
